One of my rear wheel arches is starting to get pretty scabby.
Does anyone know where I can get hold of wheel arch repair panels?
Thanks in advance.

(I didn't think this was sufficiently technical to go in the Technical section)

Hi
Inner wheel arches are available from Cotswold BMW on here at a cost of £170, outer arch I'm sure would be available from them aswell I'm not aware of cost, or you can try www.carz2.co.uk there outer wheel arches are £35 but I am unsure of quality or fitment as I have not bought or fitted to my car hope this helps

Thanks Scott. Think I'll try an outer off carz2, and fabricate what is required to repair the inner panel myself

i can vouch for carz2 aswell, had a few panels off them before for different cars, fit & finish is pretty good & the prices ain't bad either.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure bmw don't sell an outer arch repair panel, only a full rear quarter panel. The £40-50 ish ones on eBay tend to do the job fairly well.
